Kurt:

General Accounting Office report has found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lacks the resources to effectively investigate one of their highest stated priorities–firearms in the hands of those prohibited by federal law from having them.

DEA has more invasive access to phone records than the NSA

Alabamians can now open carry to the polls.

And “Alabamians” is fun to say.

In KY:

A new bill will allow victims of domestic violence to temporarily carry concealed deadly weapons. The bill allows anyone who has been granted an emergency protective or domestic violence order to receive a provisional concealed carry permit in one business day.

Meh. Some are pretty interesting.

Something old, something new…

REX Zero-1 Pistol

DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program recently conducted the first successful live-fire tests demonstrating in-flight guidance of .50-caliber bullets. This video shows EXACTO rounds maneuvering in flight to hit targets that are offset from where the sniper rifle is initially aimed:

Fits around the butt of J frame revolvers.

Whistle-blower says that’s the NSA’s goal.

Not news but a reminder that he ran as a gun control candidate.

Look to be getting back to normal.

For states with bans or for hunting.

Mike Mers is leaving

Used to be such comments were the purview of fringe groups. Now, they’re coming from law professors.

Third bear struck in Knoxville. Here in The City (My The City), I’m surprised we’ve not had sightings. We’re closer to the mountains than Knoxvegas.

Well, components anyway:

The Islamic State extremist group has taken control of a vast former chemical weapons facility northwest of Baghdad, where remnants of 2,500 degraded chemical rockets filled decades ago with the deadly nerve agent sarin are stored along with other chemical warfare agents, Iraq said in a letter circulated Tuesday at the United Nations.

WTF?

Beretta’s Purple Pistol

A U.S. Patent & Trademark Officer examiner argued that AAC could not use the Statue of Liberty as part as part of its logo because the examiner was retarded:

Can’t register trademark with Statue of Liberty holding silenced gun because that would be ‘shocking, offensive and disparaging’?

So argued a U.S. Patent & Trademark Officer examiner, in refusing to register the mark. Fortunately — though more than four years after the application was filed, and nearly two years after the initial hearing on appeal — the decision was reversed.

Heh:

Highlighting increasingly dangerous conditions within the city, a new study published Monday by Northwestern University’s Department of Environmental Studies revealed that approximately 75 percent of the air in Chicago is now composed of bullets.

The things you learn on the radio.

Apparently, the original Transformers cartoon featured a place near the middle east, with lots of camels and oil production. The place was called Carbombya. This is, of course, hysterical. And by “hysterical” I mean probably offensive to people with bugs up their asses.

Apparently, the place was offensive enough to Casey Kasem that he quit the show.

I had to share.

Bitter:

Abysmal.
